WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR

We are seeking postdoctoral candidates with background in social psychology, cognitive science, or social neuroscience to join a?highly interdisciplinary project on the computational model of religious decision-making. The Computing Religious Devotion project (CREDO; see?https://www.levyna.cz/en/about-us/research/credo-project) is a?five-year project (2024-2028) funded by the Czech Science Foundation and?is based at Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic).

The aim of the CREDO project is to develop a?computational model of moral decision-making. In this model, religious belief, forged through religious practice, forms strong priors in the mind. When the mind simulates possible actions during decision-making, religious actions become readily available and likely selected due to their high value. To empirically develop the model, the CREDO project will determine how religious belief affects the strength of religious priors during normative decision-making in various laboratory and field studies. Moreover, in a?large-scale cross-cultural study, the project will establish how beliefs and practices of different religious traditions affect cognitive computations during normative decisions. The goal of the CREDO project is to produce one of a?kind, comprehensive model of how religions shape the mind.

The successful candidate will lead experimental testing of the predictions from the computational model of religious decision-making in cooperation with the Principal Investigator, Dr. Martin Lang and another postdoctoral researcher with strong experimental skills. Specifically, the successful candidate will design experiments probing cognitive processes underlying moral decision-making and determine how religious priors affect such decision-making. They will work in a?fully equipped lab (EEG, fNIRS, BIOPAC) and at a?field site in Mauritius. The candidate will be given significant responsibility and autonomy while also benefiting from the mentorship of the PI, playing a?crucial role in forming the CREDO project as well as future research areas for the whole lab.

RESPONSIBILITIES:


	Collaborating with the project team (PI, 2 postdocs, 2 Phd students) to design and execute laboratory and field studies.
	Designing experimental studies testing the computational model of religious decision-making.
	Data analysis.
	Writing research articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
	Presenting findings at conferences and research seminars.


NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS:


	PhD (or approaching PhD) in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience or a?related field.
	Competence in designing and executing behavioural/neuroscientific experiments.
	Fluent in statistical code in either R, Python, or Matlab.
	English language (B2 or higher).
	At least one first-author publication (pre-prints are eligible).
	Ability to work collaboratively as part of a?research team.


Other qualifications we look for (but are not necessary):


	Previous work on social cognition, decision-making, moral psychology and related topics.
	Competence in formal modelling of cognitive processes.
	Experience with EEG, fNIRS or fMRI.
	Experience with open science practices (pre-registration, registered report, open code).


WE OFFER:


	Competitive salary.
	Academic growth in a?stimulating research environment.
	Travel money.
	Leading high-profile publications.
